The galactic Colossus: the most expensive one and the slowest of all of 
them; tech 3 bombers or a CZAR works best against him.

CZAR: your ID4 Alien ship; does an incredible amount of damage 
underneath it, but it just has 5000 HP; dies fairly quickly against 
tech3 AAA or 50 to 100 tech1 Figher

TEMPEST: a submersible battleship, it can also build ships on the fly 
(only when floating on the water) lots of hitpoints, but anti-air 
capabilities, is supposed to have a sh*tload of torpedo tubes onboard, 
but i haven't confirmed that yet;
